Fund managers eager to use social media are held back by industry regulationsWashington PostFacebook and Twitter may have become mainstream for many American families and businesses, but within the fund industry, the use of social media is much...

The many regulations placed on big businesses is a good thing. The recent crisis that took place in 2008 resulted in much stricter rules and regulations, that determine how, when, and why big corporations share information and make money off of that information. These managers want to use social media, however there are many rules that prevent them from doing so. And, if they do use social media outlet somehow, it is very strict on their use of the channel. Security and Exchange Commission is doing it's part to keep information (the proper information) concealed. Overall, these regulations are protecting public interest. I do not see big funds being limited to their social media capabilities, however, properly using such channels can help their image and ability to advertise themselves.

This is an interesting perspective: from a professional athlete's POV. Athletes are trained to say the right thing on camera and on social media. "By the time they’re a seasoned NFL veteran, they can rattle off responses to reporters as if in auto-pilot." Where is the honesty and genuine behavior of society's role models? The ability for a celebrity to go viral and to either ruin or boost their fan loyalty has mutated the sincerity in their actions and words. As society, are we supposed to assume that celebrities are truthful or that they act in a way or say something to gain Twitter followers.

Although celebrities are only a mere fraction of society, the trait remains to the average socialite. If you want to get fifty likes on an instagram photo, you are going to upload something that may not be entirely true to you. To loose a sense of truth is scary.
